Description
CarePlan.activity.outcome element has the following description/definition statement:
- "Results of the activity" (description), "For example, the outcome of an education activity could be patient understands (or not)" (example)
This statement and example easily cause confusion with "Goal.outcome".
CarePlan.Activity" data element is intended to specify (propose, recommend) the type of activities that are requested/ordered to meet the set/agreed goal targets. For example, if the goal target is for the patient to lose 20 lbs body weight in 5 weeks, the activity proposed/requested is for the patient to perform 30 min high intensity exercises 3x/week.
There should be a data element in CarePlan to record what level of intensity, duration and frequency of activities the patient has performed, e.g. medium intensity exercises 45 min 4x/week
Suggest change CarePlan.activity.outcome to CarePlan.activity.performed and revise the definition and example to rectify the confusion with Goal.outcome
